SWNOVELS Chapter 15
Chapter 15 Tian Jiawang
As a result, she lost her balance and fell to the side. Although a small tree stopped her, her head still hit the tree. She saw stars, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
The hatchet in her hand also flew out of her hand and into the grass not far from the hillside.
At this time, a burly man wearing a rabbit-skin vest and carrying a basket of arrows on his back quickly scuttled out from the side. When he saw her, he was stunned for a moment and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, miss. Are you hurt?”
“Maybe not a concussion, but there’s definitely a big bump on my head.” After Zhou Ying stood up, she rubbed the back of her head and glared at him.
The burly man was taken aback. Although he didn’t understand what a concussion was, he understood that she must have hit her head.
“I’m sorry, miss. I really didn’t see you. Do take this wild chicken as an apology.” He scratched his head with a dry smile.
After he finished speaking, he picked up the wild pheasant that had been shot to death by an arrow, pulled out the arrow, and handed the pheasant to her.
Zhou Ying turned her head and looked at the pheasant in his hand. Although it was not big, it was beautiful with its colorful feathers.
Then, she looked at the man. Although he had a big frame, he was skinny. The clothes he wore were full of patches. It appears that his family’s condition was not good.
She hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. “Forget it. I’m not really hurt. Keep it for yourself.”
The burly man looked at her in surprise. After taking a closer look, he found her somewhat familiar. Then, he asked with uncertainty, “You’re a new member of the Gu family, right?”
Zhou Ying looked at him warily and said, “Who are you?”
The burly man quickly confirmed her identity, but he did not expect her to lose so much weight.
Then, he handed the wild chicken to her again and said, “My name is Tian Jiawang, and I live at the foot of the mountain at Shanghe village. Do take this wild chicken as my apology.
“By the way, don’t go further into the mountains. There are wild boars in there.”
After he finished speaking, he quickly left.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying no longer refused the pheasant. She threw the pheasant and firewood into her interspace and then went to the tall grass to find her hatchet.
She didn’t expect to find a nest of Gastrodia roots as well. She immediately put away her hatchet, took out a military shovel, and started digging.
After she finished digging, she realized that she had dug up a total of half a sack of Gastrodia roots. She was instantly overjoyed. With these Gastrodia roots, they would have enough money to rent a house.
She looked up at the sky and realized that it was already midday. After making sure no one was around, she brought the Gastrodia roots into the interspace.
Gu Chengrui, anxiously waiting in the interspace, immediately stepped forward to greet her when he saw her. When he saw the blood on her clothes, he quickly asked, “Why is there so much blood on your body? Did you hurt yourself?” contemporary romance
When Zhou Ying heard him say this, she suddenly felt her head start hurting again. She immediately lowered her head and pointed at her wound. “I’m injured. Hurry up and take a look at the back of my head.”
Gu Chengrui immediately took her hand away and checked it. When he saw the wound, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, it’s just a bump. It’ll be fine after a few days of careful nursing.”
After he said that, he took out some safflower oil from the first-aid kit and applied it to her before asking, “What happened? Why are you injured?”
Zhou Ying didn’t hide anything. She told him directly about how Tian Jiawang shot the pheasant and scared her. “By the way, do you know him? I think he’s a good guy, so I didn’t make things difficult for him.”
“I have some impressions of him. He’s a pretty good person, but his life is tough.” Gu Chengrui nodded and replied.
When the original owner of his body went up the mountain to chop firewood, he came into contact with him. He had even helped the original owner carry firewood down. He could be said to be one of the few people in the village who did not discriminate against the two of them.
